Day 4 and Day 5 preview
Friday, 18 January 2008 | posted by Ben
Hey everybody,
So yesterday (Thursday) was the great video day, where everybody ran about wielding video cams intent on putting a 3min piece together on issues they cared about. Not withstanding video cams which didn't want to delete footage, it was a great success with a very high standard of content, delivery and passion.
In the evening 34 of us went to a market town called Guildford for some late night shopping. In England all shops stay open late so we were able to see a bit of the shopping centre (before getting kicked out) and then headed to Burger King, Marks and Spencers and Debenhams. It was a bit disappointing that Guildford shut a little early but least we got out of the venue, did some shopping and had a burger!!
Today is where our 60 select 6 to travel to Davos and meet, greet and challenge World Leaders. It's going to be exciting but remember they get to do it in person but all of us need to be challenging, creating and active, no matter where we end up.
I'll end with a nice picture...

I have just done my final presemtation for the Road to Davos, Davos link. We have to select 6 people who will have to represent the 60 at the Worl Ecconomic Forum in Davos- so it is dificult.
We have all become so attached to one another and there are so many ties that I have formed that willl last me a life time.
Whoever gets selected for the Davos link I know that you will make us proud and represent not only the 60 but all young people from across the world. Goodluck guys I am proud of you.
Love
Gillion
